To clarify, it does support nvidia through the open source nouveau drivers. It's only the proprietary drivers that aren't supported.

You mean it does not support the drivers that actually work?
It depends what you call working. Nvidia proprietary driver has a broken wayland implementation (a choice that nvidia made), whereas nouveau has a working one. Better pick AMD or even Intel GPUs on Linux as drivers are much better.
Yes exactly. I don't recommend nvidia.
This is a good reason to select different new hardware but insufficient to get rid of existing hardware.

If most people agree we can worry less in 5-10 years. Unless people work around it during this time frame in which case people can continue not caring.
